I want to take my kids car camping for a night in my Model 3, located around the Bay Area in NorCal. I don't really want to take them to an official campsite because we don't need it. I have a portable toilet that folds up into a small bag, I don't need an electrical hookup, I don't need any amenities.
What I do need is the ability to park my car somewhere (hopefully scenic) without getting hassled. I know we can park overnight at a few of the rest stops around the area, but there's a bunch of people doing that and I'd rather stay away.
Anyone in the area know of some places where I can park the car and hopefully not get approached by an officer or hassled? This seems so much easier in the rest of the USA where there's lot of uninhabited land. Out here, not so much.
What's the deal if I park in one of the many hiking trail parking lots or state parks that are closed at sunset? Will they ticket you if your car is not out of there? I know we get locked in, but that wouldn't be terrible since I have everything we need.
